Well for some reason SGS no longer regas struts for power boots. Reasoning was a bit strange, saying something along the lines of you can't just regas to xNm and it will work, there are a lot of other things involved. Here was their reply

I think people have had theirs regassed in the past and it hasn't solved the problem so they have then blamed SGS for not doing their job properly, where as the failure could be the motor etc
